# VIM stuff


Today if removed two annoyances I had with `VIM`.

# Command mistyping

I often mistype the following:

:w!	becomes	    :W!

or

:q!	becomes	    :Q!

Which is annoying because `W` and `Q` do not mean anything, and I don't
write or `VIM` does not quit.
`VIM` has a nifty feature called `commands` which you can (re)define
or add new commands.

Lets try some to fix this, in a running vi:

    :com -bang W write!

or

    :com -bang Q quit!

Now you can write `:Q!` and you will force quit.

But it will now always use the force variant because the bang (!). 
Well of course VIM would not
be VIM, if there weren't a solution:

    :com -bang W write<bang>
    :com -bang Q write<bang>

 Mode has changed

This was the other annoyance

    Warning: Mode of file "{filename}" has changed since editing started

Kill it with `set autoread` in your `.vimrc`. See `:help W16` too.
